There are plenty of skittles at this accident site but they do nothing to reduce crashes. Those that propose reducing the speed limit obviously do not use this highway or they would know its almost never possible to do legal limit at any time now.

Is that a Motorhome trying to overtake stationary traffic and crossing a double yellow line on a blind band ? The truck traveling in the opposite direction has had to pull right over to the left to avoid this moron. Unbelievable !
REALLY?

Looks like an ambulance to me! Why is everyone always so quick to jump to conclusions & incorrect assumptions about life on & around state highway 2 between Bethlehem & Katikati?

don't blame the road, don't blame the vehicles, BLAME THE BLOODY STUPID DRIVERS who don't pay attention.. I see it all the time, people on Cell Phones, tailgating, impatient dangerous drivers. Trouble is there's no consequences, our fines etc are pathetic.
